Scale
Wrap Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken
- 3 packed cups Romaine lettuce (about 2/3 head)
- 1 cup heaping (6 oz) grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/3 cup slightly packed, finely shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 avocado, diced
- 5 burrito size tortillas, whole wheat or white, warmed
Dressing Ingredients
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 anchovy fillets, mashed finely to a paste (1 1/2 tsp paste)
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp minced garlic (1 clove)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: Whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a bowl until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Mix the salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, Romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and shredded parmesan cheese. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the mixture and toss with tongs to evenly coat all ingredients.
- Add avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado to the salad mixture, distributing it evenly without mashing.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay each warmed tortilla flat and spoon a portion of the salad mixture in a row down the center. Fold the ends of the tortilla inward and then roll tightly to form a wrap, securing the filling inside.
- Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for fresh, flavorful handheld meals.
Notes
- For grilled chicken, preheat grill to medium-high (425°F). Pound chicken breasts to even thickness and lightly brush with olive oil.
- Season chicken with a mix of 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/8 tsp garlic powder evenly on both sides.
- Grill chicken about 4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Warming the tortillas before assembling makes them more pliable and helps prevent tearing when rolling.
- Use whole wheat or white tortillas based on preference for flavor and texture.
